POJO stands for "Plain Old Java Object" and it is a somewhat common term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Java_Object http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Java_Object The term was coined by Martin Fowler, Rebecca Parsons and Josh MacKenzie in September 2000:[1] "We wondered why people were so against using regular objects in their systems and concluded that it was because simple objects lacked a fancy name. So we gave them one, and it's caught on very nicely."[1]
